Collier said the man in the passenger seat was his neighbor and the driver was his fiancée’s sister.

The high-speed chase was captured on police dash camera video from a Blue Ash police cruiser.

The chase began when Madeira police spotted the car just after 7 a.m. The chase reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour and passed through Sycamore, Blue Ash, Silverton and Cincinnati before crashing in Columbia Township.

Police cars and armed officers finally surrounded the two suspects in this McDonald’s.

“Crashed on Ridge Highland right in front of McDonald's. Keep your distance, get you safe. Get yourself safe!” said an officer on scene.

Only WLWT cameras were rolling as passenger Kenneth Maldonado, 27, was handcuffed and hauled away by officers.

Records show Maldonado is on probation for his role in a police involved shooting near Toledo last December.

Maldonado pleaded guilty for having a gun illegally and receiving stolen property.Kimberly Overstreet, 26, was behind the wheel of the stolen car. Josh Collier owns the car and says Overstreet is related to his fiancée.

Police and Collier believe drugs and alcohol were factors.

“I (saw) a bottle of liquor and everything else on the back porch so I assumed the worst from there,” said Collier.

"I am not worried about them and the car," Collier said. "(I'm worried) really more or less how my fiancée is going to get back and forth to work and how we are going to take care of our kid and stuff like that,” Collier added.

“There were no incidents. No injuries to any citizens and to any officers. That's what's important here and they did an outstanding job,” said Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil.

Overstreet faces several felony charges in both Hamilton and Clermont counties including theft, felony fleeing and eluding and aggravated vehicular assault. More charges are pending further investigation.

Maldonado was treated for minor injuries at University hospital and released to Union Township police for charges related to the theft of the vehicle.
